What BiddingPulse covers
This page accounts for every source row by scheme and use class, reconciles the exact notice totals, and links the current terms, layouts and TNHB record. It identifies the 2 September attachment change as a repackaging of the already-open 24 August tender, preserves the aggregate “7 Shops” row as one source line, gives a representative TN Tenders record and does not invent an unstated auction close or bid increment.
The official auction materials, in plain terms
Compiled by BiddingPulse · cited to TNHB Vellore Housing Unit notification 258 and linked official sourcesThe Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) published its Vellore Housing Unit — 68 sites, Sep 2026 notice (TNHB Vellore Housing Unit notification 258; official source page published 2 Sep 2026), offering 68 sites across 15 schemes in Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupattur, Kanchipuram and Tiruvannamalai districts. The notice describes a two-stage sale: applicants first submit an e-tender online, and those with a valid completed tender can then take part in a live e-auction. BiddingPulse summarizes the linked official auction materials — their listed sites, schemes, schedule, sizes, published upset values — without reproducing a unit-level schedule.
To participate, submit the e-tender and place the deposit on the Tamil Nadu e-Procurement portal (TN Tenders) by 24 Sep 2026, 11:00 AM IST. The live e-auction is scheduled for 25 Sep 2026, 10:00 AM IST onwards. On TN Tenders, 24 Sep 2026, 11:30 AM IST is the tender bid-opening time, not the start of live bidding. Check TNHB Vellore Housing Unit notification 258 on tnhb.tn.gov.in for schedule updates. BiddingPulse does not accept tender submissions, payments or bids.
The notice publishes two main amounts for every site. The first is the upset value — the authority’s published minimum amount for the site. The linked official auction materials set this bidding rule: after technical and financial evaluation, the highest qualifying e-tender value becomes the upset price, or starting value, for the live e-auction; the terms publish no later bid-increment or fixed closing rule. Across these 68 sites, upset values run from ₹7.04 L – ₹36.0568 Cr. Published plot/site area spans 703 to 1,44,227 square feet. The upset value is the minimum amount the linked official auction materials set; it is not evidence of a final or accepted price. The second number is the Application money (EMD) — here 15% of the selected site’s upset price (₹1,05,600–₹5,40,85,200 per source row). Pay only the EMD for each site you select, not the ₹59,32,28,250 total across all 68 rows. TNHB says unsuccessful bidders’ EMD is refunded under the e-tender norms but gives no timeline. A winner tops the payment up to 25% by 4:00 PM on the next working day. If TNHB does not confirm the sale, the EMD and further amount paid toward 25% are refunded without interest; withdrawal after participating or payment default can instead trigger non-refund or forfeiture. These two are not the whole cost: a bidder also budgets for GST, if applicable, paid separately and all costs and taxes due to the corporation, local authority or another authority from the date TNHB confirms the sale.
This page is kept as a dated, source-cited record of the auction's facts, becoming the permanent record once the scheduled later live e-auction concludes or a sourced terminal update resolves it. Every figure here should be verified against the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) linked official auction materials before acting.

Pay only the selected-site EMD: TNHB says to use the portal’s fixed EMD-exemption workflow and upload its self-declaration so you pay the 15% amount for your chosen site, not the tender-wide total.
Inspect before applying: Check the selected site against TNHB’s location link and layout. The sale is as is where is, and the terms do not accept a later site-condition complaint.
Plan the winner’s payments: Top up to 25% by 4:00 PM on the next working day after the e-auction, pay another 50% within six weeks of sale confirmation and the final 25% within 12 weeks.
Recheck the live close: TNHB starts the e-auction at 10:00 AM on 25 September but publishes no fixed close time or bid-increment rule.
